Scholars differ on the ruling concerning the will made by an unauthorized person ( فضولي ) disposing of another's property, holding two views: The first view deems the will valid but contingent upon the owner's approval. If the owner approves, it becomes effective; otherwise, it does not. The second view holds that the will made by an unauthorized person is absolutely void, as it is a donation from someone who neither owns the property nor has authority over it. This second view is the more preponderant one, and accordingly, such a will is considered void.
